backup call is automatically connected.

Before you begin, make sure that filtering support is enabled for IPX in
NIASCFG.
To configure IPX incoming (or outgoing) SAP filtering, complete the
following steps:
1
Load FILTCFG, then select the following parameter path:
Select Configure IPX Filters > Incoming SAP Filters (or Outgoing SAP
Filters )
2
Select Status and toggle the choice to read Enabled or Disabled .
Any configured filters immediately become active (enabled) or inactive
(disabled).
NOTE:
It might be easier to configure filters while they are disabled. Otherwise,
you might experience temporary service loss while you are adding and setting up
wildcard filters.
3
Select Action and toggle the choice to permit or deny the services on the
filter list.
This specifies the action taken when an incoming (or outgoing) service
(SAP packet) matches a filter in the filter list. If you select to permit the
services, the SAP information is received from (or broadcast to) the local
for more information.
